Palomar Health opens newly expanded Rehabilitation Institute donation to the Palomar Health Foundation. “These changes provide our patients and their families with a more peaceful healing environment to help aid in their optimal recovery,” said Virginia Barragan, Palomar Health’s director of rehabilitation services. The Palomar Health Rehabilitation Institute already boasts patient satisfaction scores in the top national rankings and more than 85 percent of their patients are discharged home after care. The team of medical professionals
utilizes an interdisciplinary approach to restore the patient to his or her fullest potential. Family members are also an integral part of the team, and are encouraged to participate from the initial assessment through the daily treatment regimen, discharge planning, and post- inpatient phases. Elaine Kerr was one of the first patients moved to a new private room at the Rehabilitation Institute. “I’m just so happy to be able to do this,” she said. “It’s great to be walking again, and my new

Assessments for admission to its Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accredited programs are available seven days a week.
